@FlamingFirewire: Download an earlier Shareware version of the game that still has it, then put the EXE in the same folder as the full game, and it should work. Although you might not be able to play the A B and C episodes.

supersmith3000

Agreed, I used to play the shareware version It would to be awesome this is on GOG. : )

FlamingFirewire

After seeing the LGR review, it would be sweet to see the CD-ROM version with the Apogee cheat still in the game.

SheldonHusky

I want both Jazz Jackrabbit games on GOG.com either in a pack or stand alone.

I love watching people play these games but in my PC gaming childhood I never had the chance to play it.

mikopotato

This is one of the Gem from the old days :) Please make it happen

7thChimera

I would love this!

@CelticMinstrel Actually, J1E is fully capable of allowing you to select any level you like as the "Next Level", so you could make the Xmas Episode play all the levels from both Holiday Hares, although I don't think Epic would even want to do this, so I doubt they'd add an extra Episode option.

Of course, I'd love Epic to do anything new Jazz-related, and if they did a new game or a HD Remake, I'd get it in a heartbeat, but I just don't think that's going to happen for a while at least. Having said that, next year Jazz 1 will be 20 years old, so perhaps they could give it a 20th anniversary re-release that could test the waters for a new game?

Yeah, I'm getting kind of hopeful here, but I like to fantasize about possible futures where all my favourite franchises are revived. Although, who knows, maybe Epic will re-release Jazz. In their position, that's what I'd do, since all they'd need to do is basically just say "Hey, GoG, here's Jazz. Go nuts." Jazz is DRM-free anyway, so it would work perfectly.

This game is long overdue for Gog's release

booyabojangles

I don't know why, but I really want this game again.

Saltefanden

Please make it happen, it definitely deserve to be on GOG

Rickpwns

This wish is here for so long, please add it!

astraldemon

Yet another great game from our childhoods, I would really like to see it here :)

CelticMinstrel

I don't think J1E could do what I had in mind. Are you thinking about actually merging the two episodes? I don't think I would like that.

What I meant was actually altering the game so that the episode picker has an additional slot. It'll probably never happen, but it'd be a nice touch if it did.

Robo4900

Well, technically, it would be possible to force the game to run all the levels of both Holiday Hare episodes, but it would require fiddling around with J1E and it could all bug out.

CelticMinstrel

I'm aware they're free, I just think it'd be nice to have all 11 episodes in the episode picker. The first Holiday Hare is already there (at least in the CD edition), so it'd just mean adding the second one, somehow.

Robo4900

@goToni Actually, it isn't impossible, it just takes a lot of patience and some precise timing. If you really can't do it, download J1E(Jazz 1 Level Editor) from Jazz2Online, and edit the level yourself.
@CelticMinstrel Actually, since Holiday Hare '94 and '95 are both Freeware, they could have HH94 and '95 available for free(Like Tyrian, Teenagent, etc.).
@Comradedemption IMO, the best way to do it would be Jazz 1 and 2 sold as a bundle(With Holiday Hare '98 and Christmas Chronicles '99 included as bonus downloads, along with the complete soundtrack of the entire series), with Holiday Hare '94 and '95 released separately as Freeware(Like with Tyrian, Teenagent, etc.)
@DennisLaurson89 If they did release it here, it would be the full version.

And now for the general part of my post:
Until recently, it was possible to buy JJ1 first-hand legitimately from a place called Epic Classics(Although -- according to various sources on the internet -- what they'd give you is a legitimately burned CD-R with a high-quality Xerox print of the cover art and the manual), but some time last year(Or perhaps the year before), it was closed. Curiously, shortly after that, Epic opened the Epic Store. So, I'm hoping for the Epic Store to start selling JJ1 at some point(I don't really care about them selling JJ2, since copies of that are super-cheap and super-common on eBay).

DennisLaursen89

I would love to see Jazz Jackrabbit on GOG. And please, let it be the full version, with all the episodes!

comradredemption

If we are getting Jazz, we should get the whole shabang! Let's get JJ2 and the holiday games and everything bundled into one! I miss these games and would love to be able to purchase them.

CelticMinstrel

It's probably not possible without a lot of work, but if they could get all 11 episodes (including the second Holiday Hare) in a single bundle (ie, adding an 11th menu option to the episode select), that would be wonderful

Zireal

Wow!! it's second game that I played when I was child. I'd really like to buy it on GOG.com!

Ivalo

This game was and still is one of finest things on pc. I'd love to play this again!

goToni

If CD version of Jazz Jackrabbit is ever released the level Orbitus 2 needs to be fixed. There were at least two CD releases of this game. One was OK. The other one had a bug in the level Orbitus 2 that makes it impossible to play through that level.

phlum

If you add this, try and add modern gamepad support as well - platformers on PC are so difficult to play on keyboard, I find.

...and if you can, throw the soundtrack in there as well ;)

nibbles021

Adddddddd Zombie says Adddddd. lol. please add this game is great cant find it at all except an ISO image which takes forever to use.

Gloryboy1981

This platformer is so rad. The best one ever for PC, IMHO. Plz add, K thx :0)

Robo4900

@Rickpwns, you might want to also vote for Jazz Jackrabbit 2, then.
But anyway, this game is so awesome. It took me a year of checking eBay every day to finally get this game, but it deserves to be easily available digitally.
By the way, Jazz 2 is easy to get. There's always at least two copies on eBay or Amazon.

bradgy

what an amazing soundtrack... lossless if possible!

Rickpwns

Please GoG! You already added many of my favorite games, but Jazz Jack Rabbit (2) is my favorite! I wouldn't mind to pay 20 Euro's for this + All DLC's!

dlddr

I wish I could vote a million times

jollyhoop

First game I ever played and I would love to play it again.

Coodu

A great game from my childhood, would definitely buy this and 2 also!

Mario.

Well, games in this series and all the versions of the Halloween Harry (there were a ton of those!) would be nice!

Basically, this game meant for PC what Sonic the Hedgehog meant for Sega.

RazorHunter

I would be more than just willingly to pay for playing such a wonderful kid memory like this one

SocraticSloth

OH GOD YES!
Please release this!

dukeauroch

GoG simply cannot be complete without Jazz Jackrabbit and the tremendous soundtrack for it. Come on now.

Ljas

This needs to be in GoG.

Robo4900

Tordhs, Jazz isn't Freeware, so you just posted a Warez link, which -- if I remember correctly -- is against the rules.

tordhs

you can get it as freeware here if you want: http://www.myabandonware.com/game/jazz-jackrabbit-2bf#download

but i really, really, really, want this game on gog!! its an instant buy!

ps. instructions for how to get jazz jackrabbit to work (under the D-Fend Reloaded Setup section ;) http://www.myabandonware.com/howto/

caffinemasta

Jazz jackrabbit games are right up there in the top3 best pc platformers ever!

anotherface

Loved this game when I was kid and would pay for this right away if GOG released it,

XHavoc

@Perrydotto This @GoG if there is any game that I had to buy that was on the small floppies before cds even (shocking!) of which was always shareware when i went to computer shows jazz jackrabbit along with every shareware that was ever released in the early 90s should. be. on. this. site. but more importantly why is this game NOT HERE?

Retodon8

This game, and the soundtrack please.

MartyChang

give me the jazz

phlum

@WildCat has a good point - the soundtrack is at least as good as that of Deus Ex.

ModestMrGreen

Fantastic game. LOVED this as a kid, and I'd love to see it released here with extras. The soundtrack in particular would be great. PC & Mac please!! :)

Perrydotto

If you get this alongside with the soundtrack, I will be extremely happy. Alexander Brandon deserves the attention.

Grargar

GOG.com needs to bring more platformers to their platform (no pun intended) and what's better than good old Jazz Jackrabbit?

SlasheeTheCow

This. I mean, it'd be nice to see all the games from Epic before they dropped "Mega" from their name, but seriously. This.

dreamerdeceiver5

Another excellent game that would fit the GOG.com catalogue very well. The gameplay was excellent, jump, run and gun with a great sense of speed. This coupled with great soundtrack and graphics. GOG.com: bringing back all those memories!

WildCat

If Jazz ever arrives at GOG, I'd love to see the soundtrack added as bonus content. This game had some absolutely fantastic music and having it in some convenient MP3s would be great!
